Ok , thanks for your input , I guess the demo is the way to go. By the way if you are interested in post-work you may want to check out DIgital FUsion by eyeon it is by far superior to After Effects in its intutive work methods, everything is linear so there is no finickity clicking and making changes is as simple ABC. No I dont work for them I am a very satisfied customer thuogh. again my thanks

Drwn, thanks for taking the time to reply ,I would do my own post-work on a professional compositor so the motion blur etc is not an issue, and render times are co-measurate with quailty so that's fine too, what I need to know is how high a resolution vue would allow me. I work from a broadcast workstation whose codecs allow me up to 2k (film resolution) and need to know if vue has a bit depth that could manage that ( althugh as I say I would be happy with just generic broadcast, 720x576 pal ,uncompressed. Does it give the option of saving to fields? Is it capable of 10 bit ( image +alpha)? again thanks for helping out on this

I dont think I have ever bought a substantial software programme that I havnt checked out first using ''available testing environments'' It was only by using such a copy of P3 to check it out that I bought p4 and then pro-pack.(despite pirate copies of both being available). In no other market except this electronic one is a product sold with the proviso 'its got a few problems but buy it and we'll fix it later and even if the bugs mean you cant do what you want to do and your business suffers we will not return your money' . I would venture that wares contributes more than it detracts. It generates a mass publicity machine for software that other manufacturers would pay big bucks for and reaches people who would not neccesarly have tried it or even known about it. If I had made a programme I would place it on the servers just for the advertising value. Anyone who is going to use it proffesionally is probably buying. I dont have to get in to the obvious arguement that software producers work hard and should be paid etc , that goes without saying , my point is that I believe wares is not as big an enemy as is believed. Most copies are collected for kudos or for trading power (probably for porn, now there is exploitation we could talk about!) THese may not be popular opinions here , but they are mine.

I had the same problem and it was fixed by deleting all the rsr files from the geometries folder, poser rebuilds them automatically. make sure you only delete .rsr files form the geometrie folder and nowhere else . Apparently some folks do this on a regualr basisi just to keep their software tip-top.
